There are many different reasons why you might want to make use of our counselling service. You may wish to discuss an issue of personal importance to you, or work out a personal problem you have dealt with alone for some time. The counselling service is open to all. Reasons for coming to the counselling service may not always be clear and well defined. A general feeling of discomfort, or knowing that some things have not been going well personally, may indicate the right time to clarify your situation in a safe and confidential environment. Additionally, the counselling service offers workshops in an informal atmosphere with a group setting. This is a service being introduced mainly in English, but counsellors who are fluent in other languages are also available. We aim to provide a positive and supportive environment where you can receive one-to-one counselling. Take advantage of these opportunities.

THE COUNSELLORS

Your counsellor receives professional supervision and follows the European & British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy code of ethics and practice (a copy of which is available on request). This is to ensure that the work is conducted in a safe, ethical and effective way. You will be able to access the service on a weekly basis and you can contact the counselling service either through email or by telephone to make an appointment. The service is situated in our suite of offices, offering you a comfortable and private room. Sessions are by appointment and can usually be arranged within a week. CONFIDENTIAL

Counsellors are committed to the concept of accountability; whatever is discussed within the counselling session is dealt with in a strictly confidential manner. AFFORDABLE

We offer up to 26 sessions, which are free, although we welcome donations to assist in counsellors’ supervision and room rental.

To make an appointment for an initial interview or to establish what your needs may be and how we might be able to help you, please contact Derek Lainsbury, who will refer you, or telephone: +357 99039127 Please leave your name and number and the nature of your enquiry in order that your call may be returned as soon as possible. All calls are treated in a completely confidential manner and no details about yourself or your call will be divulged to any other person outside of the organisation without your express permission. The only exception to this rule would be if we believed you or someone else to be at significant risk of serious harm.

This would only be in extreme circumstances and would not be done without first discussing the options with you.
